Fully hide directory from share

Worstje · 09-18-2004, 11:02 AM

I have searched but I wasn't able to find what I am looking for...

What I am looking for is a foolproof way to hide a certain directory in a samba share from a windows box. I am unable to move this directory elsewhere, and I can't move it around for various reasons. I know that some files (dotfiles) are automatically made hidden, but those can still be shown. I am looking for something that would hide it even in that case..

Thanks

if you are looking to restrict access to the file i would look into man chmod. you can restrict access to the owner only or what ever you want.
